Explanation

A virtual switch (vSwitch) operates within the hypervisor to forward traffic between virtual machines and physical networks, similar to a physical switch. VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) logically segment traffic on that switch so VMs in different VLANs cannot communicate without routing through a firewall or router. Together, vSwitch + VLAN is the standard approach to VM traffic segmentation. NAT translates addresses but doesn't isolate traffic. System partitioning, access-lists, and disabling spanning tree do not directly address VM network separation in this context.
